The purpose of this study is to examine the survival probability of the ancestors of the indigenous people of Canada during their migration to the last glacial maximum. The ancestors of the Indigenous people of Canada are believed to have migrated during the Last Glacial Maximum under severe ice-age conditions. However, the possibility of their survival is unclear. Creating a mathematical model, the survival probability of Indigenous ancestors who migrated to Canada and the effects of different factors were studied. Using logistic regression analysis, we evaluated the effects of different factors, such as the mean female life expectancy, average childbirth interval, and marriage age, on their survival probability. The results suggested that a polygamous community was more likely to survive. The survival probability was maximized in the cases of monogamy/unintentional migration (0.60), polygamy/unintentional migration (0.87), and marriage age of 15 years/monogamy/unintentional migration (0.76). However, the survival probability was low for many possible combinations of the mean female life expectancy and the average childbirth interval. The low survival probability would demonstrate the levels of resourcefulness, bravery, and wisdom that the Indigenous ancestors possessed to survive. A problem was that the available data on mortality and fertility were not specific to the ancestors of the Indigenous people of Canada. In the future, the accuracy of the survival probability of the ancestors of the Indigenous people of Canada will improve once quantitative research data on the ancestors’ life expectancy and childbirth are available.

The present study utilizes the Value-based Adoption Model (VAM) to examine the determinants that influence the adoption of Virtual Reality (VR) technology for virtual tourism among domestic visitors. The focus is on perceived value, considering both benefits and costs. Data was collected from 238 visitors at a VR theme park. A questionnaire measured perceived value, benefits (novelty, visual appeal, usefulness), costs (expenses, discomfort, complexity), and hedonic motivation. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the relationships between variables. Perceived novelty, visual appeal, and usefulness positively influence perceived value, while perceived discomfort and complexity negatively impact it. Hedonic motivation also has a positive influence. Perceived cost doesn't significantly impact perceived value. To promote VR adoption in tourism, attractions should enhance perceived benefits (novelty, visual appeal, usefulness) and reduce perceived costs (discomfort, complexity). Interactivity and entertainment elements can enhance enjoyment and value. Visual content should be realistic and appealing. The comfort of VR devices is crucial, and complex usage should be avoided. Future research can explore gender and age differences and rural adoption intentions. This study contributes to the literature by providing insights into the factors driving VR adoption for virtual tourism. It underscores the role of perceived value and hedonic motivation in shaping consumers' intentions to use VR technology for tourism experiences. Moreover, the findings offer practical guidance to marketers in promoting VR adoption within the tourism context.

This research aimed to study the state and needs of information and digital knowledge access training. The research was conducted using a mixed method with in-depth interviews. Digital literacy training is an important issue for reducing inequality in access to information and digital knowledge, which is important to living, occupation, and basic rights. A group discussion of 30 people and a questionnaire with a group of 405 people were used in urban-style communities and rural-style communities. They were in the community area, aged from 20 to 59 years old, and recruited with a specific method according to the rural-urban continuum model by Dewey. Data were analyzed by content-based synthesis according to the classification approach and statistical methods. It was found that (1) current states of accessing information and digital knowledge are problematic in terms of access to signals, networks, and the management of community leaders. Overall, the state of information and digital knowledge access was at a moderate level. (2) For training needs, it was found that there was unstable and unequal access and disparity in all areas. What is needed is to support the reduction of inequality in access to information and knowledge by involving all agencies in creating a training curriculum. Overall, the attitudes and demands for accessibility training were at a moderate level. The result can be used as a guideline regarding cooperation among local government agencies to participate in analyzing conditions, problems, and needs in accessing information and digital knowledge according to the basic rights of the people.

This article aims to examine the internal factors affecting product innovation in Vietnamese textile and garment enterprises. The study used statistical methods and logit regression models along with data collected from the 2021 Economic Census of the General Statistics Office of Vietnam. The research results show some statistically significant results, as follows: (i) enterprises with state capital account for the lowest proportion in the sample but have the highest product innovation rate, and the proportion of product innovation in textile and garment enterprises increases gradually with enterprise size; (ii) enterprise characteristics (employee size and import-export activities) have a positive influence on product innovation; (iii) characteristics of business owners including gender, level of expertise, and gender diversity among owners all influence product innovation; (iv) applying information technology (using the internet, management software, automation systems, and spending on software) has a positive influence on product innovation; (v) enterprise resources for innovation including capital intensity and research and development activities have a positive influence, while, labor costs have a negative influence on product innovation. Furthermore, the role of capital intensity in product innovation depends on the type of enterprise. Specifically, this influence is strongest for enterprises with 100% foreign capital but is not statistically significant for joint-stock companies that do not have state capital. The research results are the basis for proposing solutions and recommendations to increase the product innovation of textile and garment enterprises in Vietnam.

The present research examines how molybdenum and tungsten stimulate immune responses under biotic stress in Nicotiana abenthamiana. Plants are subjected to a wide range of environmental stressors that reduce and limit crop productivity. The primary response to any stress type is the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that cause oxidative stress, whose elimination by molybdoenzymes plays an active role. However, in the case of a molybdenum shortage in the soil or substrate, tungsten replaces molybdenum in the active centre of enzymes. Our study demonstrates the potential use of tungsten (W) and molybdenum (Mo) to stimulate the immune response of Nicotiana abenthamiana plants when interacting with Tomato bushy stunt virus (TBSV). The results indicate that the use of Mo and W metal salts activates the antioxidant system, particularly aldehyde oxidase (AO). Seed priming in metal solutions resulted in the appearance of the additional AO isoform. Furthermore, root length was high in the 1 mM Mo+W solution (4.05 cm, compared to 2.03 cm in the control). And seedling biomasses were significantly higher in infected plants in molybdenum and tungsten solutions at concentrations of 1 mM, 8.5 and 8.8 g, and about 7.6 g in control. The incubation of infected N. benthamiana plants in a solution of tungsten increased their resistance to TBSV. This is shown by a low level of accumulation of hydrogen peroxide (0.014), which is 23% less than the control infected plant. These results suggest the involvement of Mo and W in the mechanisms of resistance against viral infection and stimulation of the immune response of plants to biotic stress.
本研究探讨了钼和钨如何刺激烟草植物在生物胁迫下的免疫反应。植物会受到各种环境胁迫，这些胁迫会降低和限制作物的产量。对任何胁迫类型的主要反应都是产生活性氧（ROS），导致氧化胁迫，而钼酵素在消除氧化胁迫方面发挥着积极作用。然而，在土壤或基质中缺乏钼的情况下，钨可替代酶活性中心的钼。我们的研究表明，钨（W）和钼（Mo）在与番茄矮壮病病毒（TBSV）相互作用时，可用于刺激烟草植物的免疫反应。结果表明，使用钼和钨金属盐能激活抗氧化系统，特别是醛氧化酶（AO）。种子在金属溶液中的萌发导致了额外的 AO 异构体的出现。此外，1 mM Mo+W 溶液中的根长较高（4.05 厘米，而对照组为 2.03 厘米）。在浓度为 1 mM 的钼和钨溶液中，受感染植株的幼苗生物量明显较高，分别为 8.5 克和 8.8 克，而对照的幼苗生物量约为 7.6 克。将受感染的 N. benthamiana 植株放在钨溶液中培养可提高其对 TBSV 的抗性。这表现在过氧化氢的积累水平较低（0.014），比对照组受感染植物少 23%。这些结果表明，钼和钨参与了抵抗病毒感染和刺激植物对生物胁迫的免疫反应的机制。

Vocational and technical education and training (TVET) in China is a key pathway to enhance labor productivity and drive economic development. Since the initiation of reforms and opening up, under the high attention of the Chinese government, we have experienced rapid development, from quantity expansion to quality improvement. This article delves into the current status and development trends of vocational and technical education in China, analyzing it from various aspects such as the legal environment, infrastructure, teacher enhancement, teaching methods, and cultural context. This paper conducts macro-research and analysis through policies and regulations and refers to relevant papers from Google Scholar and CNKI for micro-analysis. A telephonic interview was carried out with a total of 38 participants from four different vocational schools, industries, and enterprises. The user conducted similarity and differentiation comparisons using both Excel and Mind Mapping software. The research shows that China's vocational education market has entered a phase of rapid growth, and online education has also seen substantial development. However, due to China's vast territory and constraints arising from economic development and regional disparities, as well as diverse ethnic and cultural factors, vocational education and training (TVET) still faces numerous challenges, such as uneven economic and industry development, urban-rural disparities, teacher shortages, and the separation of schools and enterprises. This article aims to provide insights into the development of vocational and technical education and training from the perspectives of personalized education, talent cultivation, and talent needs. It is intended to expand and enhance the influence of vocational education development and broaden the perspective of vocational and technical talents.

This study examines the impact of a gender mainstreaming-based blended learning flipped classroom model on the solidarity values and problem-solving abilities of students. The acquisition of problem-solving skills and the cultivation of values related to solidarity are imperative proficiencies in the context of 21st-century dynamics. These competencies serve as pivotal attributes for students aspiring to navigate the intricacies of communal and national challenges. An existing quandary lies in the domain of primary education within the Aceh province, and the pedagogical landscape within primary schools has not incorporated the essential dimension of nurturing adeptness in problem-solving. This is because learning is still teacher-centered and needs more student engagement. Therefore, a model should be developed to address the issue of gender mainstreaming-based blended learning in a flipped classroom model. This research aims to develop a model for developing a blended learning flipped class based on gender mainstreaming to increase students' solidarity values and problem-solving abilities. This study employed a development model that referred to the 4-D model proposed by S. Thiagarajan et al., consisting of definition, design, development, and dissemination. The sample consisted of fifth-grade elementary school students from SD Negeri Kajhu, Aceh Besar Regency, who were taught using the gender mainstreaming-based blended learning flipped classroom model. The results showed that the developed learning model created more meaningful learning experiences. Solidarity values and problem-solving abilities of students increased when taught with the learning model.
本研究探讨了基于性别主流化的混合学习翻转课堂模式对学生团结价值观和解决问题能力的影响。掌握解决问题的技能和培养与团结相关的价值观是 21 世纪动态背景下必须具备的能力。这些能力是有志于应对错综复杂的社区和国家挑战的学生的关键属性。亚齐省小学教育领域目前存在的一个窘境是，小学的教学格局尚未纳入培养学生善于解决问题的能力这一重要方面。这是因为学习仍然以教师为中心，需要更多的学生参与。因此，应开发一种模式来解决翻转课堂模式中基于性别主流化的混合学习问题。本研究旨在开发一种基于性别主流化的混合式学习翻转课堂开发模式，以提高学生的团结价值观和解决问题的能力。本研究采用的开发模式参考了 S. Thiagarajan 等人提出的 4-D 模式，包括定义、设计、开发和传播。样本由亚齐必萨县 Negeri Kajhu SD 的五年级小学生组成，采用基于性别主流化的混合学习翻转课堂模式进行教学。结果显示，所开发的学习模式创造了更有意义的学习体验。在使用该学习模式教学时，学生的团结价值观和解决问题的能力都得到了提高。

This study employed a development model that referred to the 4-D model proposed by S. Thiagarajan et al., consisting of definition, design, development, and dissemination. The sample consisted of fifth-grade elementary school students from SD Negeri Kajhu, Aceh Besar Regency, who were taught using the gender mainstreaming-based blended learning flipped classroom model. The results showed that the developed learning model created more meaningful learning experiences. Solidarity values and problem-solving abilities of students increased when taught with the learning model.","PeriodicalId":282613,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Innovative Research and Scientific Studies","volume":"60 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140502941","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examines the application and implementation of energy-efficient measures and strategies for use in buildings aimed at achieving the goal of virtually zero energy consumption by buildings. In particular, the aim of the study is to introduce integrated solar devices into the building, functioning as a functional component of the structure for heat storage, in order to increase the flexibility of the structure while maintaining comfortable conditions inside. This article discusses an experimental comparison of flat and tubular solar collectors in the southern and northern regions of Kazakhstan. Compared to glass (S = 3), a tubular solar collector has a coefficient of thermal conductivity that is two times lower for single-layer elements and 2.5 times lower for double-layer elements. This means that less heat is lost. A flat solar collector was also developed, a heat-insulating translucent double-glazed window with reduced pressure, and the coolant is made of thin-walled corrugated stainless-steel pipe. In this collector, there is a constant circulation of heat, which increases the efficiency of heat transfer by eliminating additional partitions between the panel and thermal insulation. A calculation was carried out that allowed us to determine the productivity and useful gain for two collectors. The annual increase in the useful energy of flat solar collectors is about 12780000 kJ/hour and 20100000 kJ/hour for tubular solar collectors; therefore, the annual increase in the useful energy of evacuated tubular collectors is 20% more than that of flat plate collectors in the northern region.

The purpose of this research is to examine key factors affecting knowledge worker’s retention for digital transformation. This research is motivated by recent statistics that show that more than 70% of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) have yet to undergo large-scale digital transformation due to the failure to retain knowledge workers who can collect and disseminate information effectively through the application of digital technology. Although it is widely recognized that the knowledge worker is an important asset for the digital transformation of SMEs, there is a dearth of studies that focus specifically on how to retain knowledge workers in Malaysia. This research adopts a quantitative research design. Questionnaires were distributed to 200 respondents in SMEs in central urban cities in Malaysia. Purposive sampling was used to collect data where the respondents needed to fulfill criteria such as being currently working in SMEs and their job scope being related to idea generation, information handling, digital transformation, and strategic planning. This study discovers unique findings, such as that, compared to compensation, training and development, work environment, and work-life balance; they play a more significant role in motivating knowledge workers to stay in SMEs post-COVID-19 pandemic, which can enrich the literature on knowledge worker’s retention in developing countries. Serving as one of the pioneer studies in Malaysia and Southeast Asia that focuses on examining important factors to retain knowledge workers in SMEs post-COVID-19 pandemic, this finding benefits SME practitioners and policymakers in devising effective strategies to retain knowledge workers for effective digital transformation.
